I think she harps on about having squint out babies too much. It's like she's saying "yep, if you've had kids feel proud of your body and show it off. Those of you fatties who haven't had kids? FARK OFF!".

My efforts to battle body shaming include posting photos of my anal abscess with the word JEALOUS? under it.

Sure there are people that write "PLEASE DIE, THANKYOU" and "UNFRIENDED - by the way WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?"

But then my TRUE friends all write stuff like "You go girl!" and "Haterz gonna hate" and "Your possibly life-threating infection is what makes you you. Don't ever change. Well maybe change your underwear once in a while, it may help with the inflammation" and all is right in the world.

The actual Facebook post never says that she was "mocked", it just says "I'm sorry if... it grossed you out". The MSM's just making a story out of nothing because there haven't been any recent plane crashes and those danged middle-Easterners are having a 72 hour ceasefire instead of blowing each other up, so there's nothing newsworthy to talk about.

I have an uncle that has burn marks on his chest from an accident he had when he was a kid. He wears shirt to the pool. He doesn't do that because he is ashamed or embarrassed about his body, he does that to make other people more comfortable when they interact with him. He has not made a facebook post about it.

Anyone that's been to a beach recently know that this ladies stretch marks are probably the least disgusting things you would see. Just got back from cabo and the pool was a very shudder worthy experience on a daily basis.

Now it's I went to the beach, dressed like a moldy old tart, a 13 year old boy raised an eyebrow at me, so I'm BEING SHAMED by the WORLD and I've taken to the internet because I'm ENTITLED to feel good about myself and it's your responsibility and I need justice because you are all WRONG so change EVERYTHING for me.

Just because it comes in your size, doesn't mean you should wear it.

The men's corrollary -- Speedos are not for everyone.

I mentioned to my wife that I was surprised I did not see a single speedo. The ladies on the other hand...no shame.

Stretch marks, while unattractive, are the scars left from a noble sacrifice. They should be considered a badge of honor.

For you males out there, imagine that you must suffer an ordeal for someone you have never met. You must endure 9 months of initial change and many years of obligation. And the ordeal will leave you scarred in such a way that may leave you sexually unattractive. Would you do it? Because this is what you are asking a female to do.

THANK YOU. A normal person would have flipped off the kids who were "pointing, laughing and pretending to kick" her, which would have mortified the group enough that one of them would eventually pluck up the courage to walk up to her and say, "Excuse me ma'am, but you're sunbathing on our soccer field. See the little flags we set up? See the cones? We were all having a blast until you plopped down in the middle of our game. Ma'am, could you please look up from your phone and listen? No? Sigh. I guess we'll have to set up somewhere else then." Some people.

If I can hide my imperfections, I do. I wear board shorts over my bikini bottoms to cover my wiggly thighswhen I'm at the beach. It's only fair for everyone. If I were her, I'd wear something that would cover that tummy. There are many bathing suit styles out there. I bet she can find one that will better suit her.

Men like you built the hydrogen bomb. Men like you thought it up. You think you're so creative. You don't know what it's like to really create something; to create a life; to feel it growing inside you. All you know how to create is death...John Connor: Mom.Sarah Connor: ...and destruction...John Connor: Mom! We need to be a little more constructive here, okay?

When I saw that picture, I gasped in revulsion. I'm would not public shame this woman, but why would you subject people to that crap? I don't have the body to wear speedos, so you know what? I don't wear the farking things.

No one is "asking a female to do" anything. Most females I know aren't mindless incubators for their partner's sperm.

This. It's like free speech. If you put it out there for the world to see or hear, don't be surprised when people comment or are distracted by it.

No, I'm not asking that. I can't stand kids, never want any and have taken steps to make sure it will never happen. If someone else gets baby fever and wants to go through all that, fine. But I'm not going to put them on a pedestal for it. There is nothing special about childbirth. It's something that has happen billions upon billions of times. The only reason why it's "special" is because you're genetically programmed to think of your own offspring in that way as it enhances your desire to protect and provide for them.

And as someone with a very good friend who had a girl use his used condom to impregnate herself on purpose due to the aforementioned baby fever, I really have no sympathy for the women who make the choice to have kids. It's a byproduct of your emotionally driven craziness. Deal with it and leave me out of it.

Sorry but the "I'm a mom, worship at the my feet for I have the magical ability of childbirth" tripe is just exasperating.
